4. 3. Adhesive small bowel obstruction: aspects on epidemiology, treatment, costs and prevention

   Författare :Thorbjörn B. Sakari; Filip Sköldberg; Urban Karlbom; Wilhelm Graf; Per J Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small bowel obstruction; adhesions; acute surgery; colorectal cancer; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common and sometimes life-threatening clinical condition, usually caused by post-operative adhesions. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the outcome after SBO surgery (Paper I), cost of SBO surgery including follow-up (Paper II), incidence of SBO after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery (Paper III), and to assess the safety of using the adhesion preventing substance icodextrin in CRC surgery (Paper IV).

5. 4. Surgical Aspects and Prognostic Factors in the Management of Rectal Cancer

   Författare :Kevin Afshari; Maziar Nikberg; Kennet Smedh; Abbas Chabok; Per J. Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Loop ileostomy; Small bowel obstruction; Defecatory dysfunction; Stage IV rectal cancer; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Survival among patients with stage IV rectal cancer is poor and surgical treatment for this disease is associated with morbidities such as small bowel obstruction, complications with a diverting loop ileostomy, and functional bowel disturbances. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess risk factors and morbidity after surgery for rectal cancer and to evaluate factors affecting survival in patients with stage IV rectal cancer. LÄS MER

7. 5. Permanent stoma after anterior resection for rectal cancer : prevalence and mechanisms

   Författare :Klas Holmgren; Martin Rutegård; Jörgen Rutegård; Markku M. Haapamäki; Peter Matthiessen; Malin Sund; Per J. Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rectal cancer; anterior resection; permanent stoma; defunctioning stoma; mesorectal excision; biomarkers; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : While sphincter-saving surgery constitutes standard treatment for rectal cancer, anterior resection still harbours a significant risk of a permanent stoma in the long run. Although anastomotic leakage plays a major role in this surgical dilemma, the exact mechanisms are not known, while surveys indicate a stoma-free outcome is essential for a majority of patients.
